Innocent to His Obsession

**The first time Nina Calloway met Julian Cross, he was holding a gun.**

The second time, he was saving her life.

By the third time, Nina had already fallen dangerously close to the man everyone else was terrified of.

Julian Cross doesn't believe in love.

He believes in loyalty, leverage, and doing whatever it takes to survive. As one of the most feared men in a world Nina didn't even know existed, he's spent years learning how to read people-and how to destroy them.

Then Nina walks into his life.

She's sweet. She's sheltered. She's far too trusting.

And she's the last person Julian expects to become obsessed with.

When Nina's father disappears without a trace, she discovers that the life she thought she knew was nothing but a carefully constructed lie. Her family has secrets. Dangerous ones. And Julian knows exactly what they are.

He's been ordered to protect her.

But protecting Nina means keeping her close.

And keeping her close means watching her become the one thing he can no longer control.

The closer Nina gets to the truth, the more she realizes Julian isn't the only person keeping secrets.

Because the innocent girl everyone thinks she is...

**might be the most dangerous person in the room.**

And Julian?

He's about to find out that the girl he was supposed to protect may be the very person who destroys him.

**She was supposed to be his weakness.**

**She became his obsession.**
